a bit light on details, though I think it's likely by "mafia" they are specifically referring to the Sicilian Mafia (rather than the Neapolitan or Calabrian Mafias - Camorra and 'Ndrangheta respectively). It would be interesting to see something like this set during the second mafia war... or maybe in the aftermath when it started to become not entirely uncommon for women to involve themselves in their now imprisoned husbands' mafia business.
